You Had Me At Bacon (Bacon Double Chocolate Chip Cookies)

There was a Bake Sale Fundraiser at work this week to raise money for the March of Dimes. I was in the mood for a chewy, chocolatey cookie (with bacon, of course) so I made this batch of cookies that has a box of cake mix in it (recipe below). Within 30 minutes of the sale opening, the 4 Dozen cookies I brought in, were gone. Never Underestimate the Power of Bacon!
